On Saturday, the French presidency denounced the “unacceptable” statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in which he questioned the “mental health” of his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, carrying out his dealings with Muslims. The French presidency said in a comment to France Press that “President Erdogan’s statements are unacceptable. The escalation of rhetoric and vulgarity do not represent a way to negotiate. We ask Erdogan to change the course of his policy because it is dangerous in all levels. We will not enter into sterile arguments and we will not accept insults. ” And he announced that the French ambassador in Ankara was summoned for consultations.
The French presidency also noted “the absence of messages of condolence and support from the Turkish president after the murder of Samuel Patti,” the teacher who was beheaded a week ago in an attack by an Islamist near his school in the Parisian suburb. The Elysee Palace also attracted “very offensive statements from (Erdogan) in recent days, especially about the call to boycott French products.”
The Turkish president said in a televised speech: “What can be said about a head of state who treats millions of followers of different religions in this way? First, check their mental health.” And two weeks ago. The Turkish president, who often gets into verbal altercations with Macron, denounced the French president’s statements on “Islamic isolationism” and the need to “structure Islam” in France.
“Since its attack in Syria, France has not stopped denouncing the behavior of President Erdogan, and recent weeks have shown that we are right,” said the Elysee.
Paris and Ankara clash in various cases, from the prevailing tension in the eastern Mediterranean and the conflict in Libya, to the fighting in Nagorno Karabakh. On Saturday, the Elysee called for “Turkey to end its dangerous adventures in the Mediterranean and the region” and condemned Ankara’s “irresponsible behavior” in Nagorno-Karabakh. On the eastern Mediterranean, the French presidency said: “There are urgent matters on the table for Erdogan to respond to for two months. The measures must be approved by the end of this year.”
